This is the best chicken fajita pasta recipe I've ever tried! The chicken is so tender and juicy, and the pasta is cooked perfectly. The sauce is also amazing, with just the right amount of spice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken fajita pasta turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used whole wheat pasta and added some extra vegetables, and it was still delicious.
